Valarie Pettiford Joins The Cast of True Blood

Look
for Valarie on the top-rated cable show beginning on Sunday, July 28

Award-winning star of stage and screen, Valarie Pettiford,
is joining the cast of HBO’s top-rated Sunday night drama, True Blood,
in a recurring role for their sixth season. She will appear in a two-episode
arc starting in Episode 7: “World Without End,” which is scheduled to air on
July 28, 2013.

“Working on this show has been a delicious experience,” says
Valarie. “It has been an absolute joy to work with a cast of this caliber.
Everyone has been so lovely – they say it starts at the top, and on True
Blood, it really does.”

From the Broadway stage to independent short films, from
blockbusters to music video cameos, this Fosse-trained dancer’s work draws
attention. Valarie has a long list of accolades, including a Tony Award
nomination, NAACP Awards nominations and Best Actress honors for the festival
short ‘The Response.’ Valarie’s resume boasts national tours (Dancin’,
Show Boat), hit sitcoms (Half and Half, House of Payne)
and big-budget studio films (Stomp the Yard, Jumping the Broom).
Her second album, Velvet Sky, a collection of original lullabies, was
released last fall. Additionally, she has been sanctioned by the Fosse/Verdon
estate to reconstruct the maestro’s choreography for a new generation of
dancers in master classes in New York City. She is teaching with fellow Fosse-alum
Lloyd Culbreath.

She is so gorgeous! But I digress. I have heard of this show, but sadly don't have HBO! I know I miss so many great shows because of it, but $$ talks. She is a wonderful actress and I bet she rocks her role! I will try to catch it over at my sister's, she has HBO.
